Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de prélèvement de courant électrique parasite à partir d'une source de courant de charge alternatif pour former une source de tension destinée à alimenter directement un dispositif de commande associé. Le système utilise un dispositif de transconductance commandé pour fournir de façon sélective du courant à une charge commandée et pour développer une tension prédéterminée destinée à alimenter directement le dispositif de commande dans une système où le courant de charge alternatif est appliqué à une borne et conduit à travers le dispositif de transconductance pour être renvoyé à travers la charge. Le système comprend un moyen servant à établir le niveau de tension prédéterminé pour alimenter le dispositif de commande et à surveiller en continu ce niveau de tension pour le maintenir comme il le faut, que le courant soit appliqué à la charge ou non. Sont également décrits des régulateurs de tension alternative servant à fournir un courant isolé ou non isolé au dispositif de commande, que le courant soit appliqué ou non à la charge.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un circuit d'émission et de réception destiné à un débitmètre à ultrasons. Dans de tels circuits, on utilise classiquement un transducteur ultrasonore à la fois comme émetteur et comme récepteur, des moyens de commutation, par exemple sous formes de commutateurs CMOS, permettant de réaliser cette forme de fonctionnement. Cependant, des problèmes d'oscillations parasites se produisent lorsqu'un transducteur a fonctionné comme émetteur. Ce phénomène indésirable d'oscillations parasites du cristal du transducteur agit sous forme d'un générateur de signal supplémentaire, et ce signal est couplé au transducteur ultrasonore fonctionnant en récepteur, via des condensateurs parasites des moyens de commutation. L'invention permet de résoudre ce problème par connexion d'un pôle de commutateur de court-circuit au transducteur ultrasonore, ou aux moyens de commutation, et l'autre pôle du commutateur de court-circuit à la terre. Le maintien du commutateur de court-circuit à l'état fermé lorsque les moyens de commutation sont à l'état ouvert, et à l'état ouvert lorsque les moyens de commutation sont à l'état fermé, créé une voie de découplage concernant le signal indésirable. La précision du circuit d'émission et de réception est ainsi améliorée.
